Cornerback Senquez Golson became the first Ole Miss player taken in this year’s NFL Draft when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the second round Friday night. Golson was the 24th pick of the round and the 56th player selected overall.
The 5-foot-9, 176-pound Golson led the Southeastern Conference and finished second nationally with 10 interceptions as a senior, becoming the program’s first consensus first-team All-American since Michael Oher in 2008. He had 43 tackles, eight pass breakups and finished his career with 16 picks.
